Lactate 1.6 is slightly elevated, which could be a sign of an infection. Keep asking for her temperature as well as White cell count and CRP for infection markers.Also have they done more testing like sputum , urine ...
The CRP and ESR blood tests are called “inflammatory markers”. When there is active inflammation these can be markedly raised. This generally shows that something is wrong but doesn’t tell us exactly what it is, so other investigations may be needed. Post viral fatigue It’s very common ...
Angiotensin is a prohormone that is activated into angiotensin II by the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Angiotensin II acts as an agonist for its receptor, the angiotensin receptor type 1 (AT1). ACE2, on the other hand, promotes the conversion of angiotensin II into angiotensin 1–7 (F...
Social behavior influences the immune system – Social isolation leads to inflammation (with some groups 2.5 times more likely to have elevated CRP levels!) and specific effects on the immune system. I explore this in my peer-reviewed, indexed paper on the role of mental health in vaccine resp...
Despite not finding any research on this subject, I would like to draw a correlation.This is my educated opinion, so take it how you like. There is research to back elevated inflammation with too much sugar, so I can only cross-correlate the two. This sets the stage for a slower recove...
For new real estate investors, things are a little trickier. With elevated mortgage rates, a potential recession in 2024 or 2025, low inventory, and higher prices, you need to be careful running with the herd.Housing affordability is near an all-time low, which makes buying with a large mo...
Is it important that your team is entrepreneurial? Like our core value, even though we serve entrepreneurs, being entrepreneurial and serving entrepreneurial is not part of our core values. I wonder if we should because I thought that the reason that Grasshopper was elevated beyond a business ...
Our finding of elevated CRP levels association with mortality allowed us to hypothesize that such effect may be mediated by a reduction in inflammation [11]. This raises the questions whether any benefit can be gained from lowering homocysteine and what role homocysteine actually plays in ...
